Expose QAbstractNavigator

This change exposes the QAbstractNavigator instantiated by
QDeclarativeNavigator. By doing so, it is possible to expose to the user
engine-specific features and data via properties, signals and methods
added to the QAbstractNavigator subclass.
However, while this approach greatly simplifies the exposure of
such features, it also leads to writing non-cross-plugin code.
